Negative or unsocial escapist tendencies and indulgences, especially when repeated regularly, can easily lead to soul-crippling addictions. Christians who battle these issues, often find that their personal joy, spiritual productivity and intimacy with family and friends slowly dissipates over time, as a result. In this daily reflectional, "Don't Let the S.H.O.P Go Bankrupt," author H. Gene Palmer offers insight into breaking habitual negative behaviors and having a healthy, 'solvent'; S.H.O.P. (versus a bankrupt one). The book also offers non-intrusive guidance to relatives and close friends who want to help loved ones overcome negative addictions or ungodly repetitive behaviors.
